Arya is heading north with Yoren and the new Night’s Watch recruits, including Gendry - Robert Baratheon’s bastard son. Arya gets into a fight with Hot Pie whose bulk proves no match for her training. Yoren is displeased and beats her. The boys spend 20 mins discussing how they're going to stretch this out to 50 mins.

Chapter Review:
Arya is headed north with Yoren and the new recruits (voluntary, and considerably less so) to the Night’s Watch. She’s making her water away from the road, but with her new haircut she’s passing for a boy. Her traveling companions are a pretty sorry bunch, but she’s afraid of the three that are chained in a wagon. There are several wagons, as Yoren is bringing enough materials to keep the Night’s Watch supplied for the long winter to come.

Hot Pie, one of the better fed recruits, tries to take Needle from her, and she uses her Syrio Forel training to beat him within an inch of his life. At one point, Gendry (also headed to the Wall) saves her from getting brained by Hot Pie. Perhaps a friendship in the making?

Yoren is not best pleased, but beats her away from the others, so that he can go easy on her (she cannot sit down for several days, so she’s not sure how easy he went). He explains that her father’s beheading was a derailed plan - and she knows who is to blame: Joffrey.
